70th Anniversary of the Declaration on Human Rights

70th Anniversary of the Declaration on Human Rights

The 70th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human rights reminds us above all that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and right, as stated in Article 1. That means you, me and everybody. These days we are constantly reminded that it depends on each one of us, as individuals and institutions, if we are to see human rights protected universally, if the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is fully implemented on time, if we have a planet that is habitable and peaceful for future generations. Pope Francis reminds us, The Secretary General of the United Nations and leaders who represent moral authority in our world today constantly challenge us to play our part. Our team from the NGO Office offer this webinar to the Mary Ward Family around the world. It is our tribute to this anniversary and our offer to celebrate and offer you our contribution. You will have an overview of Human Rights, three stories highlighting specific Human Rights and highlights on Human Rights Defenders.
